poetry and prose by stephen chute
Sunday, September 3, 2023
once upon a time
with the wires
severed
you have no power,
no television
no internet,
nothing.
you resort to pen
and paper,
chalk upon the stone
walls
of your cave.
how easily we're
sucked
into it all.
technology blinding
us to
what was,
once upon a time,
good enough.

a bagel with everything
when all else fails
a few skips before you sink
the train going by
what kind of cheese?
give me the black and white Zenith
throwing in the towel
what's up with babies?
making sense of it all
the jails are full
where did this chicken go to school?
new in town
creative facial hair
boy oh boy those were the days
a world without sugar
her security door bell
carnival occupations
if there is no God, then what?
make yourself at home
chicken soup, sort of
one two three four
they just spit it out
sowing the old oats
the new Ellis Island
getting road ready
the business man
under the autumn moon
a box of donuts diplomacy
him her they them
only the faces change
old age looting
to be like him
the dark wink
the bloodied knife
more than fifty ways
a waste of time
walking pieces of art
Sears and Roebucks
as the sun sets
but all i eat are vegetables
cruel to be kind
Flannery's chicken
we'll see, He says
you know nothing
the fading blue of the day
i used to be a cheerleader
the photograph online
the sleep over
my show is coming on, shhhh
the shopping spree
achoo, god bless you
i'm a very private person
the gold rush in jersey
too tired to fight
leaving it all behind
Peking Duck
not another speck of news
it's mutual
in a nutshell
beauty is nothing
my ceiling, his floor
what is that?
tourists
cupid's first arrow
staying alive
she always returned calls
helping my neighbor Emily
the all Saints fiasco
oh my
when the trees go down
lock up your cheese
the silk tag
finding sleep
down Broadway
the darkened road
bee stings
she was unsure
see how much we loved?
with hammer in hand
this loneliness
when you arrive
man overboard
as the ship sinks
nothing to see here
i can't breathe
donna reed with a whip
over twenty dollars a tooth
the basement wedding
a climate solution
a wave from the car
you can leave now
strange love
the recipe
picnic at the lake
the destination wedding
the maids are coming on thursday, maybe
the studio apartment
do this to live longer
let's keep them sick
san francisco and elsewhere
